IDF: The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, met this evening with senior officers of the Military Advocate General’s Corps for a discussion in light of the difficult events of the evening and the past few days.

From the Chief of Staff’s remarks at the meeting:
“The events of recent days have caused severe harm to the trust of both the IDF and the public in the military justice system. Alongside the pursuit of truth, I am confident that the Military Advocate General’s Corps will continue to fulfill its role as expected and required for all of us. Even if certain officers acted in a grave and improper manner, I have full confidence in our ability to learn from this difficult event and to restore trust in the Corps, given its dedicated efforts on behalf of IDF soldiers and commanders over the past two years and beyond.

At this time, we will do everything possible to maintain stability, to appoint a new Chief Military Advocate General, and to ensure that the IDF continues to operate in accordance with the law in carrying out its missions. We will conduct the necessary processes professionally, impartially, and for the sake of the IDF, its soldiers, and the State of Israel.”
